Post No. 1,471 - Iran's "Grand Manipulator"

Iran's "Gran Manipulator", Qasim Suleimani, has been killed.

There are political ramifications erupting from this, but it also has to be kept in mind that this person has been an agitator for violence for quite some years. The following is from PWR 0049, from October, 2015, when I did a divination to try to get a sense of what the person was like, in order to try to change their character - or at least know how to best work psychically against their efforts to create violence:
As an extra to this week’s PWR, I’m going to add in something from next week’s news summation, something I found out after I posted yesterday’s summation:
Iran’s Major-General Qasim Suleimani appears to be acting as a grand manipulator behind the scenes - I may have to add him to the list of incarnates I am permanently working on clearing negative influences away from [they are being influenced as much, if not more, as they are influencing] and sending balancing energies to

Killing this person at an airport would seem to me, at first glance, to be fraught with risk of injury to other people, but I don't know enough about the details of that yet to comment on that aspect. This report says it wasn't at, it was near the airport, and five other persons were killed.

It is an act against Iraq's sovereignty. I'm aware the counter-argument is the many acts of violence this person has caused, but I don't consider the case against him had been "sold" particularly well (and would have been improved by formal international charges), unlike the case with bin Laden, who was - in an egregious act - being actively sheltered by Pakistan?

Opinions on this killing here, here (I think the comments about being a declaration of war are exaggerations, but it is a good article), here (which illustrates quite well that POTUS45, the USA's CEO, has very superficial thinking), here (comments on the history of US policies), here (a collection of articles), and here (which covers international affairs and law).

This has certainly created problems for Iraq's government: those problems would have unquestionably been more manageable if the POTUS45 administration had any competence at international matters.

There seems to be a meme somewhere on social media about world war 3 as a result of this: apart from being incredibly unlikely, to trivialise war is unseemly, to say the least.

I may publish more on this.
